The contest did of course liven things up on Thursday through to Sunday. Conditions for me weren’t too great it has to be said. But I did manage 5K0K but not in the contest and not on 10m. Worked ZD8SC on 10m at 18:00 when the band seemed dead. Really sought after were 5T5PA (Mauritania), 5K0K (San Andres and Providencia), D68CCC (Comoros), D4C (Cape Verde)and VP6R (Pitcairn Is). Ian, MM0IMC , says, "Loads of FT8 on 10m, Saturday morning. I wonder if this was due to the huge amount of SSB contesters on at the same time?-Absolutely!

Stoke lost to Millwall 2 – 0. Next we play West Brom on Monday evening at Stoke. Hmm? I’ll not be there, can’t easily get back after the match. And it’s on Sky, that’s why it’s moved from Saturday.Sun: Spotless now for 27 days. And now it’s England for Rugby World Cup Champions! Just a tad early at 9 in the morning to be drinking Guinness! Now you can help Tony to compile his ten-metre report.
Tell him about any stations you've heard on the 10-metre band in your part of the world, or tell him if you've also found the band to be dead.
Use the form in the pop-up window to record the details of any stations that you have heard during this week.
